TAS5411EVM User's Guide

The TAS5411-Q1 evaluation module (EVM) is intended to demonstrate the capabilities of the TAS5411-Q1 device. All the device features can be accessed through the hardware and the software graphical userinterface (GUI) which is supplied. This user's guide contains a description of the EVM and the GUI. Theschematic, bill of materials (BOM), and board layout are included.

1 Hardware OverviewThe TAS5411EVM showcases TI's TAS5411-Q1 analog input class-D closed-loop mono amplifier. TheEVM is usable as stand-alone platform with default I2C register settings. The EVM runs in default I2Cregister settings. The EVM can also work with a USB2IIC-2 board and TAS5421-Q1 GUI for programmingthe I2C register settings.

Hardware Overview www.ti.com

1.1 TAS5411EVM Features• Runs without I2C initialization• Has GUI control via USB port• Passes EMC CISPR 25, class 5

1.2 TAS5411EVM GainThe gain setting for TAS5411-Q1 device is I2C programmable. The four gain options are 20 dB, 26 dB, 32dB, and 36 dB. Set the gain by modifying I2C control register 0x03. By default, the gain is 26 dB.

1.3 TAS5411EVM PWM Switching FrequenciesThe PWM switching frequency is I2C programmable. The two f(SW) options are 400 kHz and 500 kHz.Programming the frequency in control register 0x03 is via the GUI and IIC2USB-2 board. By default, f(SW)is 400 kHz.

1.4 TAS5411EVM SpeakerGuard™ Protection CircuitryThe SpeakerGuard protection circuitry is programmable for different voltage levels. Programming thelevels in control register 0x03 via the GUI and IIC2USB-2 board. The control register shows the defaultvalue for the SpeakerGuard protection-circuitry voltage level.

4 Using the GUI With the TAS5411EVM BoardThe TAS5411EVM does not need initialization. On powering up, the device performs load diagnostics. Ifthere is no problem, the device transitions to play mode with the following default values are set:• Gain: 26 dB• f(SW): 400 kHz• SpeakerGuard protection circuitry: Maximum voltage level

4.1 Checking the Fault RegisterWhen the GUI first runs, the Register Detail box displays the fault register. The GUI runs with I2C datapolling as the default setting, clearing any previous faults after the first poll. If any fault condition is stillactive after device goes into play mode, with the exception of open load, the device enters the load-diagnostics mode.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residentialinstallation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordancewith the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interferencewill not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, whichcan be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or moreof the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

3.2 Canada3.2.1 For EVMs issued with an Industry Canada Certificate of Conformance to RSS-210

Concerning EVMs Including Radio Transmitters:This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:(1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that maycause undesired operation of the device.

Concernant les EVMs avec appareils radio:Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitationest autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doitaccepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.

Concerning EVMs Including Detachable Antennas:Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser)gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna typeand its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary forsuccessful communication. This radio transmitter has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna typeslisted in the user guide with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated.Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibitedfor use with this device.

Concernant les EVMs avec antennes détachablesConformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type etd'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillageradioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotroperayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante. Leprésent émetteur radio a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d'antenne énumérés dans lemanuel d’usage et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l'impédance requise pour chaque type d'antenne. Les types d'antennenon inclus dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour l'exploitation del'émetteur
